"According to a new New York Times/CBS News poll, only 16% of Americans think the government is telling the truth about 9/11:
"Do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying?
Telling the truth 16%
Hiding something 53%
Mostly lying 28%
Not sure 3%"
The 16% are probably a waste of energy: if they still believe the official story, then they are unlikely to change their minds based on facts. (If you have the patience to never give up, then more power to you).

If you wanted a defense shield against Middle East incoming ICBM's, wouldn't Eastern Europe be a logical location?

As a conservative I do to as long as they do not conform to unbecoming conduct or be a distraction to the men women in there units, HOWEVER if you are straight and married you can be thrown out of the military or disciplined for
Adultery, if this is the case and we allow homosexuals to marry, do you think they will have to adhere to laws in the Military on Adultery, when Adultery has always and only
pertained to a male and female relationships?

Yes I am aware of the past mainly their staunch support of the USSR, but considering Cuba is sputtering Economically Castro is set to die in a couple of years wouldn't be time for the US to start making an influence in Cuba. The reason China did not become like Cuba was because we became involved with them and started to develop influence. With the government and its people.

I've been reading over some Y! Answers that have to do with political views, and the majority of them say (in response to certain questions) as you get older and gain more knowledge typically you become more conservative. Why would that be? I would think as you acquire more knowledge and become aware of other cultures, etc. that would make you more tolerant and perhaps more liberal.

But they did not elaborate how they could reduce abortions, why is that?

Does that mean they will state abstinence should be taught in schools? or do they think more young girls should have access to birth control? Birth Control pills have been linked to an increase in breast cancer as they get older during hormonal changes.

Isn't reducing abortions the same thing as saying we need to reduce drug abuse, please stop injecting heroin or snorting cocaine and just smoke pot then maybe you will eventually stop smoking pot ?? Is this more *demmie spinning the issues*?

Kervorkian just got out of prison. If he were to call more attention to the subject by continueing his practice of assisting suicide, has the US changed enough to tolerate assisted suicide?
As the baby boomers get older, I think that if assisted suicide isn't legalized, it's going to become a really big issue.

McCain seems to be on shaky ground these days. Will he regain an even keel? Or are his chances of winning the GOP nomination fading fast?

personally, I feel that the countries that added these african countries took away their riches when they gave the countries independence. A lot of these countries were left with corrupt leaders. Conditions are being allowed to worsen but Iraq was invaded just becasue of Iraq oil.

That will direct you on your voting decision?

Based on the answers, if you would vote for an Atheist, seems to be split down the middle, HOWEVER if you were asked would you vote for a Homosexual President? I am sure many of you would say no but I could be wrong...

People for the most part are easily swayed by the masses, just to fit into society, they want to be PC and people please.

This is what most Independents and Republicans think of the Democrat agenda. President Bush has made some grave mistakes, but we are far better off than Kerry being in office or Al Gore and his Global Warming drivel.

Do you draw the line on morality in who can be Presdient of the USA?

Our government pays BILLIONS of our hard-earned tax money to subsidize multibillion-dollar corporations like Wal-Mart. However, is that really compatible with the concept of capitalism? After all, capitalism is supposed to be about competition and "survival of the fittest". The companies that are able to keep up with the demands of the consumers swim, and those that aren't able sink.

Sure It says he is the C&C of the Armed Forces.

But America was established in a Post Monarchal Culture. Leader was not on the agenda.

I can't find a shread of evidence to support this "Leadership" notion politicians keep talking about.

His Oath of Office makes him the protecter of the Constitution. But Bush's actions places his duty as suspect.

The pardon thing has become a presidential tradition. I guess only Kennedy and Nixon did not grant pardons.

But If Air Force One flys Bush to his new Rancho in Paraguay He can avoid a world of legal problems.

After hearing that he has been sentenced for 30 months in jail. Do you think he took one for the team? I personally think Carl Rove should follow him.
